Its Rhubarb not Rutabaga

Wednesday, June 29, 2016

So I have been seeing some recipes using Rhubarb. I've never seen nor tasted such food. But I want too. I hear it has a sweet tart taste? I dunno.

The other day while shopping for produce, I mentioned to Nick that I wanted to make a Rutabaga pie or muffins. So The search was on. We found them. They looked like turnips and were ugly. They sure didn't look like the ones I saw on line.

"Hmm let me wait a while on that cause I just don't know. That's an ugly veggie."

I did some research. Why didn't Rhubarb look like this in the grocery store?

Because I was looking at Rutabagas!

Stupid me. I'm sure glad I didn't buy a Rutabaga because we would be eating nasty tasting pie!

So now my search is back on. I'm not sure this veggie (or is it a fruit?) is in season but I'm dieing to make some Rutabaga Rhubarb muffins soon.

HaHa!!! Too funny! I love rutabagas, but don't think they would make good pies. I have never seen rhubarb around here (SC). I'm thinking it might be one of those early spring plants that grows in cooler temperatures. Good luck on finding some.

Love rhubarb. I make a cobbler, cooking rhubarb with sugar butter and cornstarch. Then a topper on it and bake it in the oven. I think rhubarb is something you really like or NOT. It has a taste all its own. I'll give you the whole recipe if you'd like. No time to write it all down now.
